The course is designed to provide the training and development necessary to meet demand for highly skilled scientists within the expanding and global bioscience sector.
Course content and assessments have been designed to help you develop both theoretical knowledge and understanding, as well as the practical skills to enhance your career and academic opportunities.
At Coventry University Wrocław, we aim to offer a career-focused experience to help you progress in your future career. Our offer is designed to fit around your life, allowing you to benefit from a modern, forward-thinking higher education institution, reinforced by the quality and reputation of Coventry University. We are dedicated to making higher education accessible and enjoyable for as many people as possible.
BioInMed - The Polish Union of Innovative Medical Biotechnology Companies – is an ecosystem development agency which was established with the aim to make the medical biotechnology sector a showcase of Polish innovation and a driving force of the economy in the future. It cooperates with Coventry University Wroclaw to prepare market-ready graduates by engaging its member companies in guest lecturing, employability activities as well as student and graduate recruitment.
There will be a close collaboration with Wrocław Park of Technology (WPT) and other biotechnology sector companies.
The Applied Biosciences course focuses on the application of the knowledge gained during the course to facilitate real-life problem-solving. You will explore the biosciences thoroughly on the chemical and molecular level through to the human body as a whole.
Practical elements are another key focus of the course and you will be expected to perform advanced hands-on experiments including computer-based activities. Combining both helps to solidify knowledge of the subject and prepares you for your future career.
We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
This course is available as a full-time three-year or optional four-year sandwich course, the latter incorporating a work placement or study year in a related field1.
Our teaching methods are varied, offering a number of teaching styles to suit the needs of all our students, so in addition to lectures, we also utilise a blended learning approach, including online aspects, workshops and group work. Additional support is available via email and our online learning platform, which is currently Aula.
Progression through the modules develops knowledge and skills, including communication (written and oral), study skills, research methods, project management, presentation and career development. We will also encourage you to consider your employability and/or entrepreneurial development.
Unlike traditional institutions, there are no end-of-year exams. Instead, learning is assessed through coursework and phase tests, which is more reflective of our learning model.
You can expect up to 20 hours of learning activities per week, made up of face-to-face teaching, individual and group tutorials, online classes and independent learning.
Additionally, you will be expected to undertake significant self-directed study of approximately 30 hours each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.
As an innovative and enterprising institution, the university may seek to utilise emerging technologies within the student experience. For all courses (whether on-campus, blended, or distance learning), the university may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via online technologies and methods.
Since COVID-19, we have delivered our courses in a variety of forms, in line with public authority guidance, decisions, or orders and we will continue to adapt our delivery as appropriate. Whether on campus or online, our key priority is staff and student safety.
The learning outcomes of modules, assignments and projects will be clearly stated. Your work will be marked according to how well you achieve these learning outcomes and your final feedback will refer to each outcome, as well as providing an overall percentage grade.
Assessment methods vary and include practical class and project performance, written practical reports, project thesis, oral presentations, tutorial tasks and phase tests. These assessments take place in the middle and at the end of each six-week block.
